play games without touch screen?

I got a used Nintendo DS but the touch screen wont work. I was wondering if i need to be able to use the touch screen for all games and if i need to get it repaired. Can i play most of the games for ds without using it at all?sc-jager

Non-stylus-requiring games that come to mind:

Nanostray 2

Bangai-O Spirits (but you won't be able to use the level editor)

N+ (again, no level editor for you)

Metal Slug 7

Ketsui: Death Label

Izuna

Izuna 2

Disgaea DS

Chrono Trigger DS

FF4 DS

Geometry Wars Galaxies

...but yeah, get that fixed, brah.

But if that were the case, the DS would have three or four noteworthy games, like the N64. At least the DS has an actual library that doesn't consist of just Mario Zelda Mario Mario Zelda Mario Mario Mario Starfox Mario.

castlevania? the newest one.EuroMafia

This is true until you unlock Albus Mode, where the touch screen is used to teleport around on-screen, and necessary to get past certain areas.

Man, get it repaired asap.

Only the fact u wont be able to play Zelda, DB origins, Hotel Dusk and others freaks me out

This issue is the same of having a PSP without the analog stick, out of mind!!

GET IT REPAIRED...

games that dont realy use the touch screen at all that are good: New Super Mario Bros. Mario Kart DSJdog30

Thats some good news lol. The main reason i wanted a ds was for mario games lol only have xbox 360 and its been a long time since i played mario. I want to get it repaired but as i said it was given to me (and had no serial number) so how can i send it in for repair.
